The CQ 160M CW and SSB contests coming up might be a good bet. I
worked, and confirmed on LOTW, WAS in one CW contest a few years back.
Good luck!

Got a limited amount of real estate so I can’t lay out much in the line of radials of receiving antennas, but… I have been able to easily work into the Canadian Maritime provinces (plus the remainder of the New England states), so I know I can hit those states. Problem is that I’ve never heard anyone from there on Top Band!
